In low-lying level wet pasture with moderate views in all directions, 17m N and 40m W of townland boundary with Rockstown. Enclosure (LI022-242----) lies 48m to the NW. Rockstown Castle (LI022-108----) and church (LI022-109001-) located 257m to NE and 270m to ESE respectively. A substantial house depicted in the townland of 'Ballinloghane' on the Down Survey Barony map of Clanwilliam (Hib. Reg.). The terrier of the Down Survey map of Caheravally Parish recorded that in 1641 Thomas Bourke was the owner of the lands of Ballinloghane on which there 'Standes an House' (NLI, MS 718).
The outline of a dwelling is depicted only on the revised 1923 ed. OS 6-inch map and the SMR suggested that this may be the site of the house shown on the Down Survey barony map. No surface remains visible of this structure depicted on the OS 6-inch map. This building is not depicted on the 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map or the 1897 ed. OS 25-inch map and is likely to be the remains of a post-1700 building. However the location of this dwelling matches closely the location indicated on the Down Survey map.
See attached Down Survey map of Clanwilliam Barony showing the house in 'Ballinloghhane' (Loughanstown) with Rockstown Castle to E.
